It is not just the cruise lines that are in dire straits- some more some less so. I think of all those supplieres- food, drinks, etc.etc. ! Over a year since their deliveries stopped. So many jobs in jeopardy. I can´t wait to get my vaccine- but since Germany bungled big time in ordering enough vaccine - that my take a while longer. I am still to young and to healthy. Thank god! LOL.

I, too have a September 12 sailing on. I still have hope that the Transatlantic is go! We will see. This is already done with my downpayment from the canceled April´20 sailing.

Thats just the point, we don´t have much else to discus, other then WHEN , HOW can cruises reasume. All those poor magic balls need a bit of rest. So I love to look at Solstice´s progress in her ongoing dry dock. Thanks for posting- great job.

Celebrity will start sailing with only 50-60% capacity
Germancruiser replied to terrydtx's topic in Celebrity Cruises
According to my own experience on board both Mein Schiff 1 and Mein Schiff 2- both aprox. the size of Solstice Class - I never at any time - peak time or not did i experience any rush, fight or whatsoever at the elevators. Only four people were allowed in the lift´s. There where stripes tapped to floor of the cabin- to show everyone ones place in the elevator. Of course when sailing at full capacity that whould have been a different story. But when the times comes for ships to sail again at full capacity- the Virus is a thing of the past- or at least well in hand - to allow doing so. -

I only can speak of my own two mid- pandemic cruises - one in July ( 4 nights) and the other in October ( 7 nights) 2020. Both ships were the size of X´s Solstice Class ships. Both sailed at max. of 50% capacity. In reality it was more like 20 to 30 %. All in keeping with social distancing. Wearing masks was mandatory, when walking around or even up on the open decks- when distancing was no longer a given. Even though both have been very different experiences then cruising was pre pandemic. I loved both cruies to nowhere ( " The Blue Voyages" as they where called) anyway. Of cours -
It all depends how the numbers of the new infected will progress- or hopefully come down. If necessary the can extend the Lockdown in July. I also hope for better days to come- I also have a Transatlantic schduled for September!

After two- unexpected, due to the virus - cruises on German ships - TUI ´s MS1 and MS2- I thought about to try MSC - Yacht Club or Aurea. - I found the layout of the Aurea Suite on board Grandiosa very nice. I am not sure I will go- but it is nice to have a few " little plans". March would be my favored month to try. The pictures of the interiour looked quite stunning. Thanks Happy Cruiser 6143- your reports from MSC are helping a great deal. X and Cunard are my favorite Cruise lines- but both will not sail for a while- well at least I do not see a silver lining on the horizon as of yet. Also
